<p>You can easily <a href="https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/dashboards/create-custom-dashboards/">add the VMware tile to your home dashboard</a>. The VMware tile displays general VMware details about any standalone ESXi hosts and vCenter servers in your environment, including daily and past-week usage statistics.
You can even set up multiple VMware tiles, each displaying the status of one or more vCenter servers.</p>

<p>You can also configure a VMware tile to display the status of a standalone ESXi host.</p>
<p><img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/tile-vmware-standalone-esxi-303-0eefb29cb0.png" alt=""></p>
<p>If you click the VMware tile, you navigate to the <strong>VMware</strong> page, where you can view a list of the virtual hosts in your environment.</p>

<p>If you have more than one vCenter or standalone ESXi host, you&apos;ll find your servers listed on the <strong>VMware</strong> page. The <strong>vCenters</strong> page can be filtered to display only vCenters, only EXSi hosts, or both.</p>
<p>Click a vCenter card to drill down into the details of that specific server.</p>

</span></h2>
<p>Each vCenter overview page displays a range of useful vCenter information including the number of clusters, number of hosts, and environment dynamics statistics. You can compare current statistics with statistics gathered over the past seven days. The most important measurements include CPU and memory consumption, network activity, migrations (vMotion), and storage delay.</p>
<p>If the vCenter server you&apos;re analyzing includes ESXi hosts, you&apos;ll see a list of the ESXi hosts in the <strong>Virtual machines</strong> panel. Click an ESXi host to navigate to the overview page of that host, where you can view full health statistics for that host.</p>

<p><strong>ESXi host</strong> pages provide details about the top consumers of hypervisor memory and CPU. Here you can quickly check storage usage across all datastores and locate the most active network interfaces in your environment.</p>
